Abstract:

Routinely, sampling frame construction in a household survey relies on the standard of onsite enumeration. A more expedient and cost-effective alternative method of household enumeration is the use of residential mailing lists. The U.S. Valuation of the EuroQol EQ-5D Health State Survey was implemented utilizing residential mailing lists as a means of household enumeration. The EQ-5D Health State Survey was a national survey which utilized a probability-based sampling design with an oversampling of minority respondents to cover the target population of civilian, noninstitutionalized persons in the U.S. (50 states and D.C.) who were 18 years of age or older at the time the survey was conducted. This paper evaluates the coverage achieved using this alternative method of household enumeration for a national household survey. In addition, it evaluates the cost and time constraints incurred, and addresses the advantages and disadvantages of using residential mailing lists as a means of household enumeration as compared to the standard
